Sometimes the leftover parts come in handy. As they say in the sports world, the most important ability is availability.
I don't hoard parts on purpose, but sometimes I do buy two (or more) of something to see which one will work out better.
Any parts that are not good enough for my parts bin go to the coop parts bin.
